Choosing a skin clinic

Consider the following when choosing a skin clinic.

  • Relevance & appropriateness of experience.  The doctors consulting at our clinic dedicate 95% of their work load to surgical and skin cancer related so they are very good at it.
  • Quality,Dexterity and Skill-fullness of the doctor is very important, particularly cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face and difficult to heal areas, like the leg.
  • Broad range of available treatment options. Remember NOT ALL skin cancers need to be excised and stitched. A 2 mm basal cell carcinoma may only need a simple curettage or freezing NOT a 2 cm scar or a $750 light therapy (  which will only give you ~80 % cure rate)
